Hi all: Don't know if this means anything, probably just a security issue...Endeavour/OV-105 was secretly moved to the launch pad yesterday but not scheduled for launch until Nov. 29th. Hmmmmmm I live very close to the VAB (just across the river)Endeavour is on the launch pad and stealth bombers have been flying high profile at low altitudes in the area for days. Mostly in pairs. This is the first time they have moved a shuttle to the launch pad without media hoooplah.

Nothing out of the ordinary at their web site. Schedule says Nov. 29th as launch date. Don't think they would take a shuttle crew up to launch a spy satellite, but who knows? There she sits ready to go. They only move them to the pad usually just 48hrs before a launch window. One thing for sure Therm, it isn't going up without me knowing about it. I'll keep you posted. Definitely Endeavour/OV-105, positive ID from friends at KSC. Just found this link, guess press has a hold of it after all. Endeavour article
